In this first stage the branches still look more or less flat. They are put next to one another, one by one in patient work. Later they should look like being ON TOP of one another. Want to get as much depth as possible. Every branch must be ’sculptured‘ and give shade to the branches behind. The irritation of the surrealistic ups and downs will only work if everything else follows strict classical rules.
Yes, it is exhausting work. Although I have painted these branches so many times I still use my models for every one. It is exhausting but also enjoyable. I won’t get tired of nature! And it’s such a lot of fun to see impossibilities come true in art.
